Hello new #Mastodon folks! 🐘
Have you heard of the #Fediverse? 🗺️
It's a set of community projects that use the #ActivityPub standard to talk to each other.
Mastodon is the most well developed, but there are many works in progress too:
Instagram -> PixelFed 📷
@pixelfed
https://pixelfed.social
YouTube -> PeerTube 🎞️
https://joinpeertube.org/
SoundCloud -> Funkwhale 🎧
@funkwhale https://join.funkwhale.audio/
MeetUp -> GetTogether 🍻
@GetTogetherComm
https://gettogether.community
...and many others.
So apparently this phone number does reach The White House. I just had a conservation with a terse woman not interested in speaking with someone who found the number for the White House in an old copy of the #HitchHikersGuideToTheGalaxy. You rock #DouglasAdams!

It's a beautiful watching them grow up.
Currently working on the redesign of my fave personal brand Starlifter.NZ. I'm trying to find a #CrossPlatform solution for #VisualBookmarking.
I've spent a couple days searching but can't find anything that ticks the following boxes:
* #OpenSource
* #iOS app, #Firefox on #Linux and #macOS
* Free or paid not self-hosted
* More about the visual less about reading articles
I've tried the following but they don't 100% suit my needs:
* Collect by #WeTransfer
* Pocket
* Wallabag
* #Turtl
✌

Just had a fun wee play with this #VueJS tutorial. I might need to move from #ReactJS 😉 https://medium.freecodecamp.org/implement-a-simple-title-change-website-using-vue-js-7492e049af7 #freecodecamp

There are no ads or algorithms here on #Mastodon manipulating your feed. See & enjoy who & what you want at your pace & in the order that people you enjoy post. - Enjoy & thanks for supporting the 
Fediverse & your @ instance.
"71% of respondents said that content on their social media feeds makes them angry–which is exactly what social media companies want–and even more are suspicious of the way algorithms are manipulating their experiences online."

Can anyone recommend music in the vein of #Tycho, #BoardsOfCanada or #Conelrad? I'm looking for downbeat, techy tunes to work to.
